Testimonials

“Dr. Tan Ching Yam, is a patient teacher with a sense of humour. He is able to coach his students using both the English and Chinese Language. Dr. Tan encourages his students by showing them how to correct and improve the paintings, hence, ‘saving’ their work. He makes the lessons interesting by introducing different types of painting, e.g. flora, scenery, buildings, people, boats, animals.”
